Cruise tips that sound strange but really work
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares several unconventional cruise tips specifically for Royal Caribbean passengers that may seem counterintuitive but offer practical benefits. One suggestion is to order multiple entrees in dining rooms because portion sizes are often smaller than on land and the cost is included in the fare. For cabin comfort, the creator recommends splitting the royal king bed into two twin beds to create more walking space in inside cabins. Another tip involves staying on the ship during port days to enjoy less crowded pools and attractions. To improve organization, the creator advises using heavy duty magnetic hooks to hang items on the metal cabin walls. To assist crew members, passengers are encouraged to take photos of name tags to ensure accurate recognition in post-cruise surveys. Finally, the creator advises against using the Royal Up program to bid for cabin upgrades. This recommendation is based on the risk of being assigned a cabin in a poor location, such as one with an obstructed view or excessive noise, since the passenger has no control over the specific room assigned if a bid is accepted.
